Danny Boy - Black 47[00:00:02]
Danny came over to old New York[00:01:05]
From Bandon town in the county Cork[00:01:08]
He got a room on the avenue in Woodside Queens[00:01:10]
And a job off the books doin' demolition[00:01:13]
He was kind of different than everyone else[00:01:15]
Oh he liked to hang out all by himself[00:01:18]
Didn't hit those bars in Sunnyside Queens[00:01:20]
Went straight into the Village to check out the scene[00:01:23]
One day on the job the foreman said[00:01:41]
"Hey Danny Boy we think you're a fag[00:01:44]
With your ponytail and that ring in your ear[00:01:46]
Hey we don't need no homos foulin' up the air"[00:01:48]
Danny just smiled and picked up a 2 by 4[00:01:51]
And he split that jerk from his jaw to his ear[00:01:54]
Said "You can stick your job where the sun don't shine[00:01:56]
But you're never gonna stop me bein' what I am boy"[00:01:59]
Then he met a man down in Sheridan Square[00:02:37]
They moved in together for a couple of years[00:02:40]
Said it was the happiest he'd ever been[00:02:42]
Doin' what he wanted and livin' his dream[00:02:45]
We used to drink together down on Avenue B[00:02:47]
One gray dawn he confessed to me[00:02:50]
"Love's the only thing that makes the world go 'round[00:02:52]
And I'm never gonna see another sunset over sweet Bandon town"[00:02:55]
Last time I saw Dan he was in a hospital bed[00:03:10]
Two tubes hangin' out the nose of his head[00:03:13]
But he smiled at me with them stone blue eyes[00:03:16]
And he said "Hey how you doin' guy [00:03:18]
I'm history 'round here in a couple of weeks[00:03:20]
But I did what I wanted I got no regrets[00:03:23]
So when you think of me crack a beer and smile[00:03:26]
Hey life's a bitch and then you die"[00:03:29]
Oh Danny boy the pipes the pipes are callin'[00:03:33]
From glen to glen and down the mountainside[00:03:44]
The summer's gone and all the flowers are dyin'[00:03:54]
'Tis you 'tis you must go and I must bide[00:04:04]
But come you back when summer's in the meadow[00:04:14]
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow[00:04:24]
'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow[00:04:34]
Oh Danny boy oh Danny boy I love you so[00:04:45]
I love you so Danny boy I love you so[00:04:58]
